Material Transitions: Working with nature for built environments
Event organiser
Hoffmann Centre
Urgent steps are needed to scale up alternative methods for producing and using materials within the built environment that align with low-emissions pathways. Looking to nature offers potentially underutilized materials and methods of design that could deliver sustainable built environments.
This interactive workshop will explore how bio-based materials and design could be scaled up for use in built environments and contribute more meaningfully to sustainable material palettes. The first session will focus on near-term opportunities followed by a more exploratory discussion on upcoming frontier developments.
